This will be our first baby, but I'm a seasoned aunt (10 nieces/nephews!!!), so there are some tips I've learned over the years while babysitting our siblings' little ones. First, the parents always try to select sippy cups that are fun, interesting, and in the colors and/or shapes that the children have shown interest in during the past. Secondly, transitioning to the sippy cup often aligns with the introduction of new "big kid" beverages such as (diluted) juice. Giving the child the option to have a favored drink or a new, exciting "big kid" drink in the brightly colored sippy cup versus a less favored drink in a plain, clear bottle often does the trick!

Since this is my first, I'm sure what ever I write here, I will laugh about in a year or two... But what I have learned by watching my friends and family is that when you are ready putting milk and juice in the sippy cup and only water in the bottle is a good way to trick them into liking the cup better.

My son was completely bottle free by 1! I offered his formula in sippy cups early on, and once he adjusted to the sippies, I started offering him things other than formula in his cup. It made it easier so he wasn't completely shocked by me changing everything about his eating routine! (:

when we transitioned my daughter we actually used those cups that the sucking part look like nippes but where cups..then when she got used to those we changed her to the normal sippy cups...wasn't very hard actually!

This is my first baby so I haven't gone through this yet so I don't have any tips. But I did read the tips from the other moms. In my opinion I would say that just encouraging them to be a "big kid" would help out a lot. Telling them that mommy/daddy used them before glasses might also help. I will definitely take the advice about the colorful ones though :)

I have EBF all my kids except my first baby. She is special needs and she didn't start on a sippy cup until she was about 2.5 years old. With my other kiddos I would just offer diluted juice in the sippy cup at meal times from age 9 months. But I didn't wean from the breast until between 13-16 months.

Hmm... well since my only child is just 2.5 month old, I have no clue how the transition from bottle to sippy cup will go, but I appreciate the advice I've read in the comments. With that being said, I still would love to enter this giveaway!

I would get a colorful cup with soft tip. An easy grip is a must - my first one loved the avent with the two handles. trying to put a couple of oz of breast milk would encourage the baby to iuse the cup especially if he is hungry:)

When my LO was 3.5 months, he was still refusing to take the bottle after tedious hours spent on trying to give him one. We tried all types of bottles/ nipples, to no avail. I started looking for a job and I wanted to make sure that my LO would be able to get some sort of nutrition while I would be at work before I got home to nurse him. We got a trainer cup and pt pumped milk in it, it took him about 3- days to figure out how to get the milk out. Now, at 4.5 months (and still looking for a job), we try the sippy cup once a night with 2 oz pumped milk. Sometimes he drinks it, sometimes he spits it out. But at least I know he realizes how to get it in his mouth for when I do go back :-)
